Our international editorial board fills the gap in the field of Islamic counseling and Western counseling by promoting interdisciplinary work in studying its relationship with cultures such as religion and spirituality both Islamic and non-Islamic, values, beliefs, life attitudes with individual intervention alternatives for those interested and located in the Southeast Asia region. The journal does not favor theoretical or applied research and strives to be a bridge between levels of knowledge. Current efforts are to gradually improve the quality of research, along with supporting capacity building initiatives to enhance research in the field of Islamic guidance and counseling in the region. In Enlighten, we also publish special issues and special sections on request. Special issues allow us to publish papers that focus on specific themes, often related to emerging or under-researched topics. Author Testimonials
